Verification of OHPI

The Online Hate Prevention Institute (OHPI) is a target for impersonation by certain online haters. OHPI is an anti-hate organisation. This page has been created to help members of the public verify both our legitimacy and the any social media accounts claiming to belong to OHPI.

How do you know we are legitimate?

OHPI is a real organisation. We are structured as a Public Company limited by guarantee. This can be verified with the Australian Government’s corporate regulator, ASIC, through their search facility. Select “Organisation and Business Name” then enter “Online Hate” to view our record.

OHPI will never set up a dedicated Facebook page protesting for the removal of another specific Facebook page. We may, however, support others who set up such pages. If the page has been verified, it will appear here:

When we believe a page is in breach of Facebook’s terms of service we may post a link it on our page encouraging others to report it. We may also monitor the page and share our observations privately with policy makers and key stakeholders so that more can be achieved than just removing the page in question. What we really want to see is improved systems to mitigate against such problems in the future.

OHPI Endorsements

Anything OHPI endorses which is not run by OHPI (and therefore listing above) will be listed here. Any website or social media account claiming endorsement from OHPI that is not listed here does not have our endorsement. While we are in contact with the people running these pages, and support the work they are doing, OHPI is not responsible for the content they publish.

Please note there are also other Facebook pages which OHPI’s Facebook page may like. A like on Facebook is not an endorsement. This said, we would be happy to speak to the owners of any page the OHPI page likes if the owners of that page would like our formal endorsement.
